God wants us to know that our adoption is secure and live in light of our new identity. One of the clearest ways we live in light of our new identity as adopted sons and daughters is to live as agents of unity, especially among believers. 

The world works very hard to steal the identity that God calls us to embrace. In a thousand ways, day in and day out, we are told who we are, what we are worth and what ought to define our sense of self. But what God says about who we are in Christ is radically different. Join us for the next few months at Mission Hills as we unpack what God’s Word in the book of Ephesians tells us about who we are, who we are becoming and what we must allow to define us in the in-between.

We have somehow taken what has been the greatest motivator for Christian living and turned it into something that not only fails to motivate but in some cases, actually de-motivates. Make sure you know what story you're a part of. 

The Plot Thickens // Last week, Craig challenged us to understand that we were created as God's representatives in creation, but we know the story doesn't end in Eden. This weekend, we'll explore what went wrong and how that conflict in the garden has changed all of our stories.

You were made to be the physical representation of God in the world. Craig shared a life-changing truth that we as humans are representing God to his creation. How should this new perspective change your perspective?

We know we were made for more—more meaning, more significance, more joy. What we crave, the world fails to deliver. The stories we write for ourselves never quite satisfy, but God is writing a story for us that is bigger, bolder, and better than anything we would have ever dared to dream—a story big enough for all us; a story with a place for each of us. It’s time. Step into the story.

This week our Senior High Youth Pastor, Shannon Popp, took us through Mark 10:13-22. With so much clutter in our life, it is important to hone in on the message of God and not miss what's right in front of us!

This week our Family Pastor, Will Cunningham, gave us some great points on how to be a family when the road is rocky. A master story-teller, Will took us through a pivotal passage in James while recanting his amazing story about his early days with his wife. 

God has an amazing plan for you and your family and wants to see you succeed along the way. Bringing up the next generation of Christ followers is imperative in our world today and Paul & Virginia take us through Psalms and show 6 tips for a pleasant and lasting journey.

In a two-parent family, the greatest gift—next to faith in Christ—is a vital marriage. Sacrificial love in marriage is foundational to a healthy marriage. God gives distinctive directions to husbands and wives in marriage. Paul & Virginia take us through Ephesians and show us how parents can set the tone for the journey.
